do you think this trend could eventualy goad the USA to return to a manufacturing based economy instead of debt and consumer based as it stands now ?

I doubt it. It will just shift manufacturing to countries like Mexico and Indonesia. Honestly, who wants to be a factory worker anymore? Americans would rather sit in front of a computer that is running Microsoft Office, shifting numbers and reports back and forth.

I would respectfully disagree, I believe that many Americans would like to be entrepeneurial manufacturers but are instead squeezed into the roles of merchant/brokers by federal globalist policies which allow mega businesses to dominate the markets, through outsourcing to the global slave trade that operates in totalitarian nations
